FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a running series, the modern GT-2160 is intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than technical athletic performance.
Is the sizing true to size?
The ASICS GT-2160 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
How should I clean the leather and mesh?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge or machine wash.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The design includes structured overlays and a supportive midsole that provides a stable feel for daily walking.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are not waterproof. The breathable mesh construction allows for airflow but will permit water penetration in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before using a damp cloth with mild detergent.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GT-2160 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. When first wearing, ensure the laces are adjusted to allow for natural foot expansion throughout the day. Compatibility-wise, these are standard UK-sized trainers; if you are between sizes, consider testing for a comfortable width around the forefoot. For care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the leather and mesh bonding. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
